Slack Key Travels

“Mele Pana, or songs of place, are an important part of the repertoire of music from Hawai‘i and have guided me time and time again as I discover new ways of expressing my aloha for this precious land. Even when I have traveled far from home I still feel a connection to my island roots. I offer this music with deep gratitude to the islands and people of Hawai‘i for shaping the landscape of my soul and being the source of so much of my musical inspiration.” – Jeff Peterson

Internationally acclaimed guitarist Jeff Peterson has established himself as one of the leading slack key guitarists of his generation taking the music from his roots in the ranch lands of upcountry Maui to concert stages around the world and the big screen in the recent Oscar-winning film The Descendants starring George Clooney.
